Vyvanse (lisdexamfetamine) effects: It use to be believed that only people with ADHD would experience benefit from stimulant medications like Vyvanse (lisdexamfetamine). We now know that these medications can help anyone focus more. They can make people feel overly excited and "jazzed." But generally they are well tolerated and are used for a number of conditions. For example folks with depression can have difficulty with attention and benefit.
